premeditatedly
In planned fashion
Premeditatedly means in a way that was planned or thought out beforehand, rather than done on impulse or in the heat of the moment.
The word appears almost exclusively in legal contexts, where the distinction between premeditated and spontaneous acts—especially in cases of homicide—can determine the severity of charges and sentencing.
The prosecution argued that she had acted premeditatedly, citing evidence of prior planning.
